Actually you would be surprised to know how many hear you Dog.


Itis common practice for most eveyone now to /addignore spammers that yell and screech.
Where as Dogs bark slowly and politly in say, and cannot be /addignored, so a one well curbed can be very helpful.

Personally, I'd hate to see spam bots be sped up.

I routinely /addignore anyone who spams more often than once every 60 sec.

I would prefer some method to force the spammers into an AFK state so their chat could be auto-ignored by the AFK chat filter.

This would make the droids infinitely more valuable.


FYI, I did submit the JTL auto-store bug as one of our two immediate bug fix requests.

Once every 60 seconds is a good pace. Rarely is someone in a starport for shorter than that. Almost never are they there so short a time that the every-10-second people need to spam that fast, and if they are leaving that quickly, then they probably aren't interested anyway.
